Hailing from France, Pure Obsessions & Red Nights was formed by singer, songwriter, writer and producer Philippe Deschemin. Skillfully navigating through DarkWave, SynthPop, Glam, Gothic, and Industrial Rock, Deschemin crafts a distinctive sound and a profound narrative universe, all centered around the enigmatic character of Mr. Strangler. After two albums, a compilation of covers and remixes, and the publication of Deschemin’s 1st Syfy novel, Contoyen, PO&RN released the unanimously acclaimed Mr Strangler Trilogy - The rise and fall of a serial killer. A Murder Rock Trilogy: ► The Ogre Inside, Act I, (2017) / The Darkest of Human Desires, Act II (2019) / No Monsters in God's Eyes, Act III, (2020). In 2020, Rock and Roll Hall of Famer and Grammy Award winner Chris Vrenna ( former Nine Inch Nails and Marilyn Manson ) mixed We Are the Stranglings (2021), a concept album depicting a community that reveres the late Mr. Strangler. In 2022, Deschemin brought back Mr. Strangler from the dead for a new synth-driven Dark Wave cycle with a first act titled Let Your Obsessions Run Wild and a 2nd in 2023, Heirs of the Red Nights .
